The measurement control component (230) may select a measurement mode or start or end a measurement based on user input. For example, a user may select a measurement mode from a self-test mode and a background mode using a measurement control component (230).

The PPG signal preprocessing component (310) may preprocess a first wavelength PPG signal and a second wavelength PPG signal received by the server (300) from a selected sensor of the PPG signal detection ring (100) through the first terminal (200). For example, the first wavelength PPG signal and the second wavelength PPG signal may be preprocessed using a low pass filter, a high pass filter, and Normalization (Normalization). In some embodiments, the PPG signal preprocessing component (310) may preprocess an acceleration signal received by the server (300) from an acceleration sensor of the PPG signal detection ring (100) through the first terminal (200).
A signal quality classification component (320) may classify signal quality of the first wavelength PPG signal and the second wavelength PPG signal as good or bad. In some embodiments, the signal quality classification component (320) may reference the acceleration signal to classify the signal quality of the first wavelength PPG signal and the second wavelength PPG signal as one of good or bad.
Oxygen saturation estimated from the first wavelength PPG signal and the second wavelength PPG signal classified as bad quality may be determined to be unreliable and may not be displayed by the display component (240) of the first terminal (200). The oxygen saturation estimated from the first wavelength PPG signal and the second wavelength PPG signal classified as good quality may be determined to be reliable and may be displayed by a display component (240) of the first terminal (200).

An oxygen saturation estimating component (350) may estimate oxygen saturation from the first wavelength PPG signal and the second wavelength PPG signal. Various methods may be used to estimate oxygen saturation.
For example, the R value may be calculated first by the following equation 1.

Oxygen saturation = C 0-C1 R (2)
C 0 and C 1 are constants that can be determined using linear regression.
In equation 2, oxygen saturation is expressed as a linear equation with respect to the R value, but oxygen saturation may be expressed as a polynomial greater than 1 with respect to the R value, such as a quadratic equation or a cubic equation. The method of estimating oxygen saturation is not limited to the method described herein.
An oxygen saturation index calculation component (360) may calculate an oxygen saturation index. The oxygen saturation index may be defined in terms of a time when the signal quality classification component (320) classifies the quality of the first and second wavelength PPG signals as good and the oxygen saturation estimated by the oxygen saturation estimation component (350) deviates from a normal range. For example, the oxygen saturation index may be defined as the ratio of the time that the signal quality classification component (320) classifies the quality of the first wavelength PPG signal and the second wavelength PPG signal as good and the oxygen saturation estimated by the oxygen saturation estimation component (350) deviates from the normal range to the time that the signal quality classification component (320) classifies the quality of the first wavelength PPG signal and the second wavelength PPG signal as good. That is, the oxygen saturation index may refer to a ratio of a time when the oxygen saturation deviates from a normal range to a time when reliable oxygen saturation can be obtained.
The alarm component (370) may send an alarm to at least one of the first terminal (200) and the second terminal (400) when at least one of the oxygen saturation estimated by the oxygen saturation estimating component (350) and the oxygen saturation index calculated by the oxygen saturation index calculating component (360) satisfies the alarm condition set by the alarm condition setting component (410) of the second terminal (400).
The PPG signal preprocessing component (381) may store the first wavelength PPG signal and the second wavelength PPG signal received by the server (300) from the selected sensor of the PPG signal detection ring (100) through the first terminal (200). The PPG signal storage component (381) may also store the date and time of measurement of the first wavelength PPG signal and the second wavelength PPG signal. The PPG signal storage component (381) may also store the first wavelength PPG signal and the second wavelength PPG signal preprocessed by the PPG signal preprocessing component (310). The PPG signal storage component (381) may store acceleration signals received by the server (300) from an acceleration sensor of the PPG signal detection ring (100) through the first terminal (200). The oxygen saturation storage component (382) may store the oxygen saturation estimated by the oxygen saturation estimation component (350). The oxygen saturation level storage component (382) may also store the signal quality classification result classified by the signal quality classification component (320). The oxygen saturation index storage component (383) may store the oxygen saturation index calculated by the oxygen saturation index calculation component (360).
The second terminal (400) may be connected to the server (300) by wire or wirelessly. For example, the second terminal (400) may connect to the server (300) through Wi-Fi or mobile telecommunication (mobile telecommunication) technology such as 3G, LTE or 5G. The second terminal (400) may be used by a physician. The second terminal (400) may for example comprise a smart phone, a tablet PC, a computer or a notebook computer.
The second terminal (400) may include an alarm condition setting component (410) and a display component (420). The second terminal (400) may access a website or be installed with an application. The alarm condition setting component (410) and the display component (420) can be implemented using a website or application.
The doctor may use the alarm condition setting component (410) to set an alarm condition. For example, an alarm may be set to sound when oxygen saturation is less than 90% for 10 minutes or more.
The display component (420) may display at least one of: the first and second wavelength PPG signals from the PPG signal storage component (381), the date and time of measurement of the first and second wavelength PPG signals from the PPG signal storage component (381), the preprocessed first and second wavelength PPG signals stored in the PPG signal storage component (381), the signal quality classification result from the oxygen saturation storage component (382), the oxygen saturation from the oxygen saturation storage component (382), and the oxygen saturation index of the oxygen saturation index storage component (383).
Fig. 4 is a flow chart of an oxygen saturation estimation method (2000) for detecting a ring using a PPG signal.
Referring to fig. 3 and 4, the server (300) may receive a first wavelength PPG signal and a second wavelength PPG signal from a selected sensor of the PPG signal detection ring (100) through the first terminal (200) (S2050). Next, the PPG signal preprocessing component (310) may preprocess the first wavelength PPG signal and the second wavelength PPG signal (S2100). For example, the first wavelength PPG signal and the second wavelength PPG signal may be preprocessed using a low pass filter, a high pass filter, and Normalization (Normalization). In some embodiments, the PPG signal preprocessing component (310) may also preprocess an acceleration signal received by the server (300) from an acceleration sensor of the PPG signal detection ring (100) through the first terminal (200).
Next, the signal quality classification component (320) may classify the signal quality of the first wavelength PPG signal and the second wavelength PPG signal as good or bad (S2200). The signal quality classification component (320) may reference the acceleration signal to classify the signal quality of the first wavelength PPG signal and the second wavelength PPG signal as good or bad. Oxygen saturation estimated from the first wavelength PPG signal and the second wavelength PPG signal classified as bad quality may be determined to be unreliable and may not be displayed by the display component (240) of the first terminal (200). The oxygen saturation estimated from the first wavelength PPG signal and the second wavelength PPG signal classified as good quality may be determined to be reliable and may be displayed by a display component (240) of the first terminal (200). In an optional embodiment, the oxygen saturation estimated from the first wavelength PPG signal and the second wavelength PPG signal may be displayed by a display component (240) of the first terminal (200) together with the signal quality classification result, regardless of the signal quality classification result. In addition, the oxygen saturation estimated from the first wavelength PPG signal and the second wavelength PPG signal may be displayed by a display component (420) of the second terminal (400) together with the signal quality classification result, regardless of the signal quality classification result.
In some embodiments, the signal quality classification component (320) may use a deep learning model. The deep learning model used in the signal quality classification component (320) may include a convolutional neural network (convolution neural network, CNN), a Long Short-Term Memory network (LSTM), a fully-connected network (Fully Connected Network, FCN), an encoder, a decoder, or a combination thereof. The method of classification of signal quality is not limited to the methods described herein.
Next, the oxygen saturation estimating component (350) may estimate oxygen saturation from the first wavelength PPG signal and the second wavelength PPG signal (S2500). The method of estimating oxygen saturation is the same as described above with reference to fig. 3.
Next, the first wavelength PPG signal, the second wavelength PPG signal, the signal quality classification result, and the oxygen saturation may be stored (S2570). The first wavelength PPG signal and the second wavelength PPG signal may be stored in a PPG signal storage component (381). In some embodiments, the preprocessed first and second wavelength PPG signals may also be stored in a PPG signal storage component (381). In some embodiments, the acceleration signal may also be stored in a PPG signal storage component (381). In some embodiments, the preprocessed acceleration signal may also be stored in a PPG signal storage component (381). The signal quality classification result and oxygen saturation may be stored in an oxygen saturation storage component (382).
Next, the following steps may be repeated: the method includes receiving first and second wavelength PPG signals (S2050), preprocessing the first and second wavelength PPG signals (S2100), classifying the first and second wavelength PPG signals (S2220), estimating oxygen saturation (S2500), and storing (S2570).
Next, the oxygen saturation index calculating component (360) may calculate an oxygen saturation index (S2600). The oxygen saturation index may be defined in terms of a time when the signal quality classification component (320) classifies the quality of the first and second wavelength PPG signals as good and the oxygen saturation estimated by the oxygen saturation estimation component (350) deviates from a normal range. For example, the oxygen saturation index may be defined as the ratio of the time that the signal quality classification component (320) classifies the quality of the first wavelength PPG signal and the second wavelength PPG signal as good and the oxygen saturation estimated by the oxygen saturation estimation component (350) deviates from the normal range to the time that the signal quality classification component (320) classifies the quality of the first wavelength PPG signal and the second wavelength PPG signal as good. That is, the oxygen saturation index may refer to a ratio of a time when the oxygen saturation deviates from a normal range to a time when reliable oxygen saturation can be obtained.
Next, the oxygen saturation index may be stored in the oxygen saturation index storage component (383) (S2700).
Fig. 5 is a flowchart of a method (3000) of setting up a sensor for PPG signal detection ring.
Referring to fig. 5 and 3, the light source control assembly (210) may control the first and second wavelength light sources (161A, 162A) of the first sensor (160A) and the first and second wavelength light sources (161B, 162B) of the second sensor (160B) such that the DC component of each of the two first wavelength test PPG signals received from the first and second sensors (160A, 160B) is within a first predetermined range and the DC component of each of the two second wavelength test PPG signals received from the first and second sensors (160A, 160B) is within a second predetermined range (S3100).
After the light source control assembly (210) controls the first and second wavelength light sources (161A, 162A) of the first sensor (160A) and the first and second wavelength light sources (161B, 162B) of the second sensor (160B), the sensor selection assembly (220) may select one of the first and second sensors (160A, 160B) as a sensor (S3200) for measuring the first and second wavelength light sources (161A, 162A) later. The sensor selection component (220) may select among the first sensor (160A) and the second sensor (160B) a sensor that measured a combination of the first wavelength test PPG signal and the second wavelength test PPG signal of the highest signal quality of the two first wavelength test PPG signals and the two second wavelength test PPG signals from the first sensor (160A) and the second sensor (160B). For example, a sensor may be selected that measures a combination of a first wavelength test PPG signal and a second wavelength test PPG signal having the highest average of signal quality among the two first wavelength test PPG signals and the two second wavelength test PPG signals. Signal quality is assessed by at least one of acceleration signal magnitude, signal-to-noise ratio (Signal to Noise Ratio, SNR), and AC component magnitude to DC component magnitude ratio. The smaller the acceleration signal size, the higher the signal-to-noise ratio and the higher the AC component size to DC component size ratio, the higher the signal quality. Thereafter, the first wavelength PPG signal and the second wavelength PPG signal measured by the sensor selected by the sensor selection component (220) may be transmitted to the server (300) through the first terminal (200).
The control (S3100) of the first wavelength light source (161A) and the second wavelength light source (162A) of the first sensor (160A), the first wavelength light source (161B) and the second wavelength light source (162B) of the second sensor (160B) by the light source control unit (210), and the selection (S3200) of the sensor by the sensor selection unit (220) may be sequentially performed. That is, after the light source control unit (210) controls the first wavelength light source (161A) and the second wavelength light source (162A) of the first sensor (160A) and the first wavelength light source (161B) and the second wavelength light source (162B) of the second sensor (160B), the sensor selection unit (220) may select the sensors.
The control (S3100) of the first wavelength light source (161A) and the second wavelength light source (162A) of the first sensor (160A), the first wavelength light source (161B) and the second wavelength light source (162B) of the second sensor (160B) by the light source control unit (210), and the selection of the sensor by the sensor selection unit (220) may be periodically performed (S3200). Since the PPG signal detection ring (100) is movable or rotatable relative to the finger, the light source control assembly (210) may control the first wavelength light source (161A) and the second wavelength light source (162A) of the first sensor (160A), the first wavelength light source (161B) and the second wavelength light source (162B) of the second sensor (160B), and the sensor selection assembly (220) may periodically select the sensors.
The embodiments disclosed in the present disclosure are not intended to limit the technical ideas of the present disclosure, but are for illustrative purposes, and the scope of the technical ideas of the present disclosure is not limited to these embodiments. The scope of the present disclosure should be construed in accordance with the appended claims, and all technical ideas within the equivalent scope thereof should be construed to be included in the scope of the claims of the present disclosure.
